Dear Mr. Wyllie,
I am writing to apply for the Washington Redskins Marketing internship. I am currently a senior
at Washington State University, majoring in Sport Management. I am very interested in this
internship opportunity and see this as a great way to utilize my skillset to benefit your team.
Having a strong work ethic and being dependable is something I pride myself on. In high school
I started working at JCPenney as a sales associate. I continued to work at JCPenney during the
summers of my freshman and sophomore year in college. After four years as a sales associate I
was promoted to leader of the sales floor. Responsibilities included; managing the other sales
associates, motivating coworkers, and problem solving with customers.
At WSU I was a Resident Advisor. I mentored freshman, managed a floor budget, and created
impactful events for the 200 residents living in the hall. I also worked at the WSU athletic ticket
office as an event worker. As an event worker the main focus was to provide excellent customer
services to fans. After one year I received a promotion and became an office worker because of
my strong work ethic and customer service skills.
I know that lives can be changed through football. The Washington Redskins organization
proves that by continually impacting their community daily. I would like to be a part of that
experience. My passion for helping others and football makes me a great fit for this position.
I look forward to hearing from you Mr. Wyllie. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jeff Girmus
